I'm trying to download a webpage by using the HttpWebRequest. It returns the
html source, however, it contains "\r\n", "\t" etc throughout the text. Is
there a way to return the same HTML as when I navigate to the url in the
browser and do a "View Source"? Or do I have to manually strip these out?
The full code is below where I'm posting the necessary data to simulate a
form post.
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest )WebRequest.Cre ate(Url);
req.Method = "POST";
req.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0+";
req.ContentType = "applicatio n/x-www-form-urlencoded";
System.Text.ASC IIEncoding encoding = new System.Text.ASC IIEncoding();
byte[] PostBuffer = encoding.GetByt es(PostData);
req.ContentLeng th = PostBuffer.Leng th;
Stream stm = req.GetRequestS tream();
stm.Write(PostB uffer, 0, PostBuffer.Leng th);
stm.Close();
// Get the response.
resp = req.GetResponse () as HttpWebResponse ;
sr = new StreamReader(re sp.GetResponseS tream());
string result = sr.ReadToEnd(); <--returns the source but with carriage
returns etc. 3 2469
I would expect your source to contain CR's and Tabs, this is probably
the way it's being sent. if you see something else in a "view source"
I suspect that's a problem with the browser, not with the request.
so yes, you have to manually strip these out.

I have a suspision that you believe the string actually contains \r\n and \t
rather than the controls control code equivalents and that you believe this
because that's what the debugger is showing you. However the debugger shows
you the string in an escaped form that is valid as string literal in C#.
OTH something really bizare is happening.

Hi all,
I am having a frustration problem, and I have read about 25 newsgroup
postings that do not have a satisfying answer :)
The problem appears to be common where carriage returns are lost when
pulling data from an SQL database. The thing that frustrates me the
most, is that when I use Enterprise Manager, the carriage returns ARE
THERE. It looks fine until I pull it out.

Hi,
I have some data which is stored in my MySQL database as TEXT. when the
data is entered in, it has some carriage returns in it, and this can be
seen when querying the data using MySQL Query Browser.
I want to then display this text within <p> tags when requested from
the database. However, the test is formatted without the carriage
returns.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
